Chapter 133 Who were you talking to just now?

Xie Shuyan lowered her head and smiled.

Looking at her, He Peilan suddenly remembered that her daughter had poured wine on others for Jiang Qingyue.

Suddenly, I seemed to be back to three years ago.

No one dares to look down on the daughter of Marquis Xuanping.

Thinking of this, He Peilan held her daughter tightly.

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the palace is holding a banquet, and we..."

Before He Peilan finished speaking, Xie Shuyan pulled her hand back. The smile on her little face froze, and her complexion even turned pale.

She could go to other people's banquets, but she couldn't go to the palace banquet.

Thinking of what happened three years ago, Xie Shuyan couldn't help but tremble all over.

He Peilan's face changed, and she didn't dare to say anything more. She hurriedly took her back.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, He Peilan immediately went to find Marquis Xuanping and told him what had just happened at the Li family.

When Lord Xie heard that his daughter had lost her temper at the banquet, he became happy instead.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're angry. But why did you only throw two glasses of wine? Didn't you hit me twice?"

He Peilan glared at him, "My Lord, did I ask you to say that? I asked you to write a letter to Lingyun immediately, asking if they can come back tomorrow. If they can come back sooner, Qingyue will definitely be able to cure Shuyan's muteness and heart disease before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Lord Xie's smile faded a lot, but he still nodded.

"Well, I'll go and ask about it."

After He Peilan left, the relaxed look on Lord Xie's face suddenly turned solemn.

Outside the city, Jiang Qingyue and Yuxiao had just distributed the medicine when they turned around and almost bumped into a tall and strong guard.

Jiang Qingyue was about to say sorry, but the man supported her first.

A familiar feeling came over her. She raised her head, looked at the person in front of her clearly, and immediately frowned.

"Why did you come out?"

"There are some things I need to do personally."

Jiang Qingyue's heart sank suddenly.

She probably guessed that what Xie Lingyun was going to do was probably related to these foreigners.

Although Xie Lingyun was wearing the clothes of a guard, his figure and aura could not be hidden.

So he could only stay for a moment, say a few words and then leave.

He handed her the jade pendant he carried with him, "This is my token. Take it, and you will be the master of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion."

Jiang Qingyue's fingertips trembled, and she was about to return the things, but then she heard Xie Lingyun say, "I'm going out for two days. During these two days, my people are under your charge and you can do whatever you want."

Suddenly, her heart tightened and she subconsciously clenched the jade pendant in her hand.

"What happened?"

Xie Lingyun said indifferently, "It's just a small matter."

Without saying anything more, he swiftly jumped on his horse and left with seven or eight people.

Yuxiao recognized the jade pendant and was shocked.

"Did he really give it to you?"

Jiang Qingyue handed the jade pendant to her, but Yuxiao didn't dare to accept it.

"The prince just said that whoever holds this is the master of the Xuanping Marquisate. Miss, you should keep this."

As she was speaking, Jiang Qingyue noticed Chu Hean coming over.

She used the jade flute to cover herself and put away the jade pendant.

Just as I put the things away, Chu Hean came over.

"Who were you talking to just now?"

Jiang Qingyue remained calm, "Thank you, Prince Xie. What's wrong?"

Chu Hean's face was gloomy. "What did you say?"

"The prince has been ill for so many days. Even though I used medicinal herbs to preserve his body, it still has a certain smell. I just asked Guard Cang Yi to cut some wood to make a simple coffin."

She choked up, "Does Your Majesty have another good idea? Can you send the prince back to Yanjing City first?"

Chu Hean's eyes were cold and his tone was questioning.

"Are those all Xie Lingyun's men?"

Jiang Qingyue nodded.

Chu Hean didn't believe it.

The person who was talking to Jiang Qingyue just now was clearly Xie Lingyun.

He can't be wrong!

As if he had thought of something, he turned around and walked towards Xie Lingyun's tent, as if he would only believe it if he saw it with his own eyes.

Jiang Qingyue's heart was instantly in suspense.

There was no one in the tent. If Chu Hean went in, wouldn't he find that Xie Lingyun was not dead?

She hurried after him, her tone a little anxious.

"Your Highness! Prince Xie died of the plague. It's been so many days, and if the tent is opened, the disease might leak out."

Chu Hean turned a deaf ear.

Logically, he should have confirmed it himself on the day it was accomplished, but he hated the plague and had been putting it off until now.

But the more he thought about it afterwards, the more he felt something was wrong. Finally, after seeing that figure with his own eyes today, he became more and more certain that Xie Lingyun was probably not dead at all.

Behind him, Jiang Qingyue's anxious tone made her seem guilty.

Chu Hean's face became increasingly gloomy, and he walked faster.

"Your Majesty, be cautious!"

Following Jiang Qingyue's words of obstruction, Chu Hean had already opened the curtain.

Suddenly, a foul smell hit my nose.

Although Chu Hean's face looked ugly, he did not stop.

After smelling this scent, Jiang Qingyue stopped moving forward and looked at the scene inside the tent coldly.

The charcoal fire in the tent had been removed, and apart from the stench, there was only a lifeless sense of death and bone-chilling cold.

There was a person lying on the bed. Jiang Qingyue was too far away to see clearly, but the figure looked exactly like Xie Lingyun.

Her heart was hanging in the air, and she didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Chu Hean delayed inside for a moment and finally came out with a gloomy face.

It seems that Xie Lingyun had made preparations in advance, and the corpse used as a substitute had probably been disguised.

Chu Hean was always afraid of epidemics, and since he was still a dead man, he would not do it himself.

So, Chu Hean got nothing.

There were some unused herbs outside the tent. Jiang Qingyue lit them up and fumigated Chu Hean's clothes with her own hands.

"Although the epidemic has stabilized now, Your Highness must still be careful. I will have Guard Xu come over with some herbs to bathe Your Highness, which will help dispel the disease."

"It's best to throw away this dress, lest the prince..."

Before Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, Chu Hean walked away quickly, fearing that he would be contaminated by the disease in the tent.

Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief only after the people had gone far away.

Yu Xiao also broke out in a cold sweat, "No wonder I haven't seen Xu Yan today. Could it be that Xu Yan let something slip?"

Jiang Qingyue shook her head. "Chu Hean isn't someone who can be easily fooled. He won't give up unless he sees it with his own eyes."

After calming herself down, Jiang Qingyue took Yuxiao back.

"Go find some herbs later. If Xu Yan comes, give them to him. If not, go there yourself."

In the end, Xu Yan didn't come, so Yuxiao personally delivered the herbs.

When he came back, he told Jiang Qingyue that Xu Yan was punished by Chu Hean and was almost beaten to death.

Afterwards, he whispered to Jiang Qingyue, "Early this morning, the Seventh Prince burned those two carriages, saying they were contaminated with disease and he didn't want them anymore."

Jiang Qingyue's eyebrows twitched.

"Where's Anu?"
